The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 7 Late Night Cooking App
The text message comes with a website link and an exclusive invitation code.

Xia An clicked in.

The result jumps to a web page.

Prompt him to download the APP "Late Night Cook".

Xia An: ? ?

He froze for a moment.

Today's dark cuisine world is so up-to-date that they have developed their own APP application software.

Download and installation completed.

Xia An successfully registered using the exclusive invitation code in the text message, and after binding his personal information, he easily found out the details of the food battle duel at 3 a.m.

[Miyoko Hojo, female, 16 years old, bronze member, two-star chef of the Late Night Cooking Association, specializes in Japanese-Chinese cuisine.]

[Food Wars record, three wins in three battles. 】

"Hojo Miyoko?"

Xia An rubbed his eyebrows. As a hardcore food anime fan, he immediately remembered the name and the story of Food Wars!

"Is this really a comprehensive world?"

On the Chinese side, he has discovered many traces of the story of China over the years.

For example, Guangzhou’s top-notch culinary restaurant is Yangquan Restaurant, while Shanghai has Tang’s Longzhen Restaurant.

And the last chef god, Liu Maoxing, disappeared in the long river of history after leaving behind unprecedented deeds.

It seems that Neon is the stage for the Totsuki group, and the Totsuki commander-in-chief, known as the "Food Demon King", suppresses the gourmet world.

What about the American Eagle Sauce?
What about the declining old aristocratic countries in Europe?
Xia An was not worried about it. As time went by and his cooking skills improved, he would gradually understand the food scene in various countries. There was no need to rush. Right now, the content on the [Late Night Cook] APP could attract him more.

If Hojo Midori is not a person with the same name, then she is the Totsuki female student in the anime series Food Wars!, then Xia An will be even more interested in this food war.

You know, nowadays, luminous cuisine has become a thing of the past.

There is no way to pursue the glowing food for now, so there is nothing wrong with learning how to [drug].

Food Wars! is also known as the Medicine King series, and every famous character in it has a natural talent for drugging, but the difference is the strength of the talent.

“You can actually buy food ingredients on the app?”

Coming out of the Food Wars page, Xia An clicked on the fresh food mall of the APP.

[Fresh and crispy grass carp, the protein content of fish meat is 12% higher than that of ordinary grass carp, and the taste is more delicious, 13 yuan/jin, each will be calculated based on the net weight out of the warehouse, and packaging and transportation fees will be charged separately. ]

Crispy-fleshed grass carp belongs to grass carp, but it is not an ordinary grass carp. It usually takes about three years to breed. The price of 13 yuan per catty is quite reasonable.

But if the crispy-fleshed grass carp is a variant of grass carp that Xia An can understand, it is within the scope of agricultural breeding technology.

So when he saw a banner advertisement for the fresh food mall, he was suddenly confused.

[Red Pork①, Bronze-level fantasy ingredient, tender and juicy meat, recommended cooking occasions: food competitions, competitions, high-end restaurants, etc. ]

[Price: 100g meat/ yuan]

[This ingredient is limited to a certain number of people and requires real names. Each person can only purchase 1 catties at most. First come, first served. Hurry up if you want to buy! ]

What is this?

Red pig?
Xia An clicked on the ① marked next to [Red-haired Pork], and a detailed illustration interface popped up.

In the picture, there is a giant pig with a red body and sharp boar tusks. Its size is comparable to that of the elephant, a native creature of the Blue Planet.

Just by looking at the picture, one can feel the pressure of an extremely ferocious beast.

So, Xia An confirmed it without a doubt, his pupils shrank slightly, there actually existed "captives of food" fantasy species in this world, by hunting or breeding them, there would be an endless supply of fantasy ingredients!
In addition to the fresh food mall.

Xia An also discovered a free trading section called Salted Fish.

Public or anonymous late-night cooks posted numerous posts on the Xianyu trading section that dazzled Xia An.

[Looking for fantasy ingredients above bronze level, please discuss details! ]

[Sexy female chefs are looking for jobs online! ] [Nine-star chefs sincerely invite top chefs to teach them, and you can set the tuition fee at your own discretion...]

[Selling the classic recipe "Phoenix Crystal". Want to be a chef? Learn it and you will be a modern chef! ]

Xia An admitted that he was attracted by the post of "Phoenix Crystal" at first sight and clicked on it directly.

But when Xia An saw the pictures of the real dishes on the page, the corners of his mouth twitched.

You call this Phoenix Crystal?

Outrageous, it should be called pheasant crystal!
The replica level of the whole dish is simply ugly.

really.

Under the post, many late-night cooks also started machine-gun-style complaining mode.

[(Anonymous): You are really amazing to make a traditional recipe into this. ]

[(Anonymous): I originally clicked on this post with the intention of looking at a recipe handed down from generation to generation. Now please forgive me for laughing out loud.]

【（Anonymous）：thumping the ground and laughing.jpg】

【Luo Jian (Original Poster/3-star Chef): Hey, you guys can laugh if you want, I posted the replica dishes just to prove that the cookbook I have is the real thing! 】

[Tang Jinghan (Nine-star chef): I have verified it, and you can all go home. The recipe book of "Phoenix Crystal" in the hands of this host is seriously incomplete, and many key steps are missing. It is impossible to reproduce the appearance of the famous dishes of the former chef.]

[(Anonymous): Tang Jinghan? The genius from Dragon Town Restaurant in Shanghai, that’s fine…everyone, go away!]

[(Anonymous): I didn't have any expectations in the first place, I just came here for fun.]

[(Anonymous): There are too many scammers like this, and I have never heard of anyone who can truly reproduce those recipes and skills handed down from generation to generation. ]

【Luo Jian (Original Poster/3-star Chef): Everyone, please don’t leave. I’m a student and I need money urgently. I bought “Phoenix Crystal” and got a free recipe for “Fierce Ice Fresh Tai Shan”. The latter is more comprehensive and records the carving skills of the famous chef Zhou Yu of Yangquan Restaurant! 】

Xia An finished reading it, pondered for a few seconds, and opened the private chat dialog box:
"Brother, how much is this recipe?"

Dudu!

The other party replied immediately: "One hundred thousand yuan! Buy one, get one free, and a free recipe for "Fierce Ice Fresh Tai Mountain"!"

Xia An typed: "This seriously incomplete cookbook, which only has sentimental and collection value, actually costs 100,000 yuan? Forget it."

Luo Jian: "Come on, brother, I'll give you a discount. How about 50,000?"

Xia An: "One thousand dollars is too much. How about this? I don't want your recipe manual. You take screenshots of every page of the recipe. It's like I'm paying for the recipe package."

Luo Jian: "Sure! How much do you want to give?"

Xia An: "Just five hundred yuan."

Luo Jian: “…”

After a moment of silence, the poster reappeared and sent Xia An a network disk link directly:
"Brother, go ahead and bid. I'll change the price for you. After you bid, I'll give you the extraction code for the network disk. Then you can go and check the package. If there's no problem, remember to confirm receipt in time."

Soon, Xia An downloaded the recipe picture package from the network disk to his mobile phone.

After decompression, the content of each page of pictures is quite clear.

With some anticipation in his heart, Xia An read every page of pictures carefully.

【Ding! 】

Hearing this pleasant reminder, Xia An's heart beat violently.

Text pops up on the panel.

[Recipe: Phoenix Crystal (20%)]

[Grade: Classic (Gold)]

[Progress: Unable to learn! ]

[The content of this recipe is seriously incomplete, with only 20% of the content. You need to collect incomplete recipes to fill in the information, or consume attribute points to deduce. ]
